Why didn't they...

Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2014)

I actually wasn't expecting much out of this movie. And I was right to do so.
The movie has a lot of similarities with Evangelion. Yes, Evangelion, Gundam, and Transformers are all about giant robots but very different concepts. This movie however is very similar to Evangelion in concept. They may say it's inspired by Evangelion but I think it's borderline plagiarism. The Jaegers and even the Kaiju were very simiar in design. The suit, the escape pod, method of transportation, neural syncing, docking... list goes on and on.
Story however fell far below Evangelion. Tries to mix corny love story. Main character's acting was below average. Special effect was average.
They should've just paid the royalty and make live version of Evangelion instead of this cheap knockoff.
